Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

Lesson three: We're going to build an orphanage. ①

When I got back, I was reporting what I felt on the inspection to Mr. Flair.

"I walked around the city and thought. As Flair said, it was very insecure. Besides, it looks worse out of town. Looks like a lot of people and orphans don't have a job. How many orphanages does this city have when you think about people without jobs again later?

It doesn't mean there's no orphanage, so there's probably not enough population in this city.

"Was I? This, we have to gather the garrisons as soon as possible. And I'm going to look into the orphanage now."

That said, Mr. Flair started fishing for the paperwork in the room.

And soon after, he finished looking into it and answered my question.

"I looked it up and there wasn't one in this city"

Not one!?

"You're lying, right? This city is so flourishing, there's not a single orphanage?

"Yes. Not a single one. The previous administrator broke it because it cut expenses."

"It's him again..."

Really, he only does extra things...

Wouldn't it have been a little more secure in this city if we hadn't destroyed the orphanage?

He should have treated you more abusively...

I don't have a choice, do I build an orphanage?

"Okay. Right...... let's renovate Gotz's mansion and make it an orphanage. I'll ask the maids who work at Gotz's house to work at the orphanage."

"Okay. Do you want to arrange a renovation?

"No, you don't have to arrange it. There's a safe over there, so I'll renovate the Wizard of Creation myself."

Besides, it'll be over sooner.

It might not be a good idea not to spend money though.

"Okay. How do orphanage children gather?

"For one thing, I'll gather some. If the number of garrisons increases, I'll ask you to do it that way. Oh, and you're going to be in an orphanage until you're fourteen."

Bell said he was given an orphanage when he was ten.

Probably wouldn't be a problem if I kept it this old.

They can work in this world from the age of ten, but it seems cute to let a boulder put you out in the world at the age of ten.

"Okay. As soon as the garrisons gather, I'd like to ask for that job."

"Yeah, please. Then I'm going to Gotz's mansion."

When I moved to the orphanage, I gathered the maids on my doorstep.

And I explained what I was going to do.

"Tomorrow, I want to start an orphanage here"

"Ko, orphanage? Wait a minute! What happens to us!? Plus, we don't have the facilities here to start an orphanage tomorrow!

As soon as I started explaining, the maid director here pointed out the problem.

By the way, the maid chief here has a slave collar on him.

This seems to be because the slave-loving Gotz chose slavery as the maid chief who is always beside him.

"Well, calm down. I'll explain it properly."

"Oh, excuse me"

To my word, the maid chief apologized as soon as he got back to me.

"Fine. Because it's natural to be anxious. Well, then, let's start explaining. First of all, it's about you... can you take care of the kids here? Please."

That's what I said. I lowered my head from the beginning of the explanation.

Because it's easier to explain it after you get your consent first.

Well, if they refuse, I won't be able to continue explaining...

"Oh, keep your head up. You can't let nobles bow their heads to ordinary people or anything!

"No, nobility or whatever, I'm in a position to do you a favor."

'Cause I'm gonna have to ask you to quit your maid job.

I feel really sorry for changing my job on my own initiative.

But if the maids don't do it, I can't start an orphanage right away.

"You've really changed. How easy it would have been for our Lord, too, if he had been like Leons..."

Yeah, it must have been very hard to take care of Gotz.

"All I can say about that is thank you for your hard work. Well, he'll be judged in the capital by now.... So, will you work in an orphanage?

"Yes. I'll work. Because it's easier to take care of a child than to take care of Master Gotz. Besides, maids take care of their children."

When I listened carefully, the maid chief agreed more quickly than I thought.

"Everybody's good, right?

And when the maid chief checked with the other maids, everyone shook their faces vertically.

I didn't expect you to accept this so easily......

"Thanks. Well, I guess I'll start renovating the mansion...... I thought, but before I do, I need to free those who remained slaves"

I've been talking to you just now, and I can't help but worry about the maid chief's collar.

"Huh? Will you let us go?

"Yeah. Get your hands on it"

"Wait a minute. I'm fine. Let the other children go."

When I reached out... that's what the maid chief said and politely pushed my hand back with both hands.

"Fine... can I ask why?

Why not? Is there any reason to say no?

"Uh... I'm a slave to Master Leons now, aren't I?

Speaking of which, yes.

All Gotz's possessions became mine, so they became my slaves, who were Gotz's slaves and possessions.

"Then fine. I, Lady Leons, can remain a slave."

"Huh? Why?

Even my slaves don't change what they are, do they?

"Hehe, it's a secret. Oh, to teach kids not to discriminate because they're slaves."

No, because you're the first one to say it's a secret, even if it's deceptive later!

"It... you just figured it out, didn't you? Well, no. Whenever you want me to let you go, say it."

Because I'll take that collar off you in a few seconds of the book.

"Yes, I understand"

"Well, then, if you want someone else to let you go, come to me"

The other maids would want to be free if they thought...

"Um... I don't have to let go either"

"Me too..."

"Me too..."

Everyone turned me down.

Seriously... are they all for the same reason as the maid chief?

"Huh? Well, if you don't mind... Well, then, shall we start renovating? Then this is dissolved for now"

That's what I said to finish my story to the maids and decided to start remodeling the mansion.

"Though I said... what equipment do you need? Oh, why don't you ask Belle from the orphanage"

Yes. If you grew up in an orphanage, Belle must know what you need!

I thought so. I moved to Bell's.

"Belle, do you have a minute?

"" Aah!

As I metastasized, two women screamed in front of me, buttocks.

"Oh, I'm sorry I surprised you. Are you..."

The one with the bell on his butt was the elf woman I helped.

And when I looked around, I found out that the place I transferred was the room where the former illegal slaves lived.

Apparently, I've done it.

My name is Anne.

As I looked over the room, an elf woman gave me her name.

"Okay. Mr. Anne, right? Call me Leo. Then I'll get out of here. Hey, I'm gonna borrow your bell."

It's not good to have me among the malephobics, so I decided to grab Bell's hand and get out of the room.

But Mr. Anne immediately stopped me.

"Please wait. Lady Leo won't be afraid of the women here, so don't worry about it."

"Huh? Really? Really?"

You don't have to force me to say that, do you?

"Yes, we are grateful to Leo for his help."

"Are you sure you're okay?

Everyone around me nodded quietly when I checked as hard as I could.

"Okay...... Well, let me talk to you here."

Maybe we can get some input from Anne and the others.
